1933 World Series: Game 4
October 3rd, 1933:
Philadelphia Keystones at Chicago Cougars (Cougars lead 2-1)
Bill Ross (14-9, 4.08 ERA, 75 K) vs. Max Wilder (15-10, 2.70 ERA, 102 K)
For the first time since 1926, 36-year-old veteran Bill Ross returned to the North Side Grounds. The veterans had some struggles this season, but he'd have a shot to even the series.
Top of the 2nd
Just like game three, the Keystones got things going quick. Grover Lee doubled to start the inning. He reached third on a ground out and then scored on another.
Top of the 4th
Bobby Barrell started out the Keystones' 4th with a single. Rankin Kellogg unloaded on the next pick, but flew out to right. Grover Lee singled him over to third and then Barrell scored on a fielder's choice that almost was an inning ending double play.
Top of the 6th
Two quick ground outs before a Rankin Kellogg homer was launched 469 feet out to right center. Down 3-0, it looks like we're out of it.
Technically, it wasn't over, but I've got to run and we didn't do much:
Final Score: Philadelphia 4, Chicago 1 (Chicago Leads 2-2)
Win: Bill Ross (1-0)
Loss: Max Wilder (0-1)
SV: Wilbur Dennis (1)
